COLPOLY 7167-8A
Unsaturated Polyester Resin

Description:

Unsaturated polyester resin based on isophthalic acid and neopentyl glycol, modified with
acrylics and dissolved in styrene.
Colpoly 7167-8A is preaccelerated.

Application:

Colpoly 7167-8A is designed for a wide variety of casting applications where resin combined
with inorganic filler such as aluminium trihydrate (ATH) and cast.
Resin is especially versatile for applications such as Solid Surface where they provide strength
and thermal shock.
Resin is also recommended where quartz filler is utilised to manufacture cast polymer sanitary
ware, kitchen sinks and other architectural surfacing products.

Features and benefits:

Excellent thermal shock resistance.

Consistent cured matrix colour.
Fast cure and cure follow-through.

Cure:

It is recommended that gel time be checked in the customer’s plant as age, temperature,
humidity and catalyst will produce varied gel times.
The catalyst level should not exceed 2.5% or fall below 1.0% for proper cure at ambient
temperature.
The product should not be used when temperature condition is below 18 °C.

Handling and safety precautions:

Colpoly 7167-8A is flammable liquid and should be kept away from naked flames. For further details,
please see the relevant Safety Data Sheet.
